Wooden Tower Icon #1312

Closed thunsaker closed 8 years ago

In putting together a worksheet for the Pioneering Merit Badge I created a wooden tower. It doesn't necessarily need to be wooden, it could just be a "tower".

I'm not very happy about the tiny triangles enclosed by the strokes. Could you try to make the diagonal lines more regular?

Templarian commented 8 years ago

Yea, looks like a ladder when scaled at 24x24. To give it a more tower style one could put a sort of forest fire tower style design.

Attempted a fire tower based on the previous icon...it turned out looking like one of those lifeguard huts you see on beaches. Maybe it needs a window or an angled roof, thoughts?

Yea, looking at it with fresh eyes I'm not seeing a tower when it is at 24x24 size. Might need to bring the support beams on the left and right in a pixel.

This may take a few variations to get right due to the perspective. Almost looks like diagonal train tracks, so the top part may need to have a bit more detail like you suggested.

I'd suggest a single cross between the legs rather than the double one in the earlier posts, and to angle the legs inwards a bit as Austin suggested. Then maybe try a couple of variations on the sloped roof idea though I'm concerned it may make it less generic and less reusable. Such an icon could be used as a hunting stand, lifeguard hut, firewatch house, etc. rather than being tied to one specific use case.

Alright, here are some more options:
